ASalmonellalytic bacteriophage, SS3e, was isolated, and its genome was sequenced completely. This phage is able to lyse not only variousSalmonellaserovars but alsoEscherichia coli,Shigella sonnei,Enterobacter cloacae, andSerratia marcescens, indicating a broad host specificity. Genomic sequence analysis of SS3e revealed a linear double-stranded DNA sequence of 40,793 bp harboring 58 open reading frames, which is highly similar toSalmonellaphages SETP13 and MB78.

ABSTRACTLytic bacteriophage ATCC 8074-B1 produces large plaques on its hostClostridium sporogenes. Sequencing of the 47,595-bp genome allowed the identification of 82 putative open reading frames, including those encoding proteins for head and tail morphogenesis and lysis. However, sequences commonly associated with lysogeny were absent. ORF 22 encodes an endolysin, CS74L, that shows homology toN-acetylmuramoyl-l-alanine amidases, and when expressed inEscherichia coli, the protein causes effective lysis ofC. sporogenescells when added externally. CS74L was also active onClostridium tyrobutyricumandClostridium acetobutylicum. The catalytic domain expressed alone (CS74L1–177) exhibited a similar activity and the same host range as the full-length endolysin. A chimeric endolysin consisting of the CS74L catalytic domain fused to the C-terminal domain of endolysin CD27L, derived fromClostridium difficilebacteriophage ΦCD27, was produced. This chimera (CSCD) lysedC. sporogenescells with an activity equivalent to that of the catalytic domain alone. In contrast, the CD27L C-terminal domain reduced the efficacy of the CS74L catalytic domain when tested againstC. tyrobutyricum. The addition of the CD27L C-terminal domain did not enable the lysin to targetC. difficileor other CD27L-sensitive bacteria.

ABSTRACTPantoea agglomeransis a common soil bacterium used in the biocontrol of fungi and bacteria but is also an opportunistic human pathogen. It has been described extensively in this context, but knowledge of bacteriophages infecting this species is limited. Bacteriophages LIMEzero and LIMElight ofP. agglomeransare lytic phages, isolated from soil samples, belonging to thePodoviridaeand are the firstPantoeaphages of this family to be described. The double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) genomes (43,032 bp and 44,546 bp, respectively) encode 57 and 55 open reading frames (ORFs). Based on the presence of an RNA polymerase in their genomes and their overall genome architecture, these phages should be classified in the subfamily of theAutographivirinae, within the genus of the “phiKMV-like viruses.” Phylogenetic analysis of all the sequenced members of theAutographivirinaesupports the classification of phages LIMElight and LIMEzero as members of the “phiKMV-like viruses” and corroborates the subdivision into the different genera. These data expand the knowledge ofPantoeaphages and illustrate the wide host diversity of phages within the “phiKMV-like viruses.”

ABSTRACTWe characterized twoLactobacillus plantarumvirulent siphophages, ATCC 8014-B1 (B1) and ATCC 8014-B2 (B2), previously isolated from corn silage and anaerobic sewage sludge, respectively. Phage B2 infected two of the eightL. plantarumstrains tested, while phage B1 infected three. Phage adsorption was highly variable depending on the strain used. Phage defense systems were found in at least twoL. plantarumstrains, LMG9211 and WCSF1. The linear double-stranded DNA genome of thepac-type phage B1 had 38,002 bp, a G+C content of 47.6%, and 60 open reading frames (ORFs). Surprisingly, the phage B1 genome has 97% identity with that ofPediococcus damnosusphage clP1 and 77% identity with that ofL. plantarumphage JL-1; these phages were isolated from sewage and cucumber fermentation, respectively. The double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) genome of thecos-type phage B2 had 80,618 bp, a G+C content of 36.9%, and 127 ORFs with similarities to those ofBacillusandLactobacillusstrains as well as phages. Some phage B2 genes were similar to ORFs fromL. plantarumphage LP65 of theMyoviridaefamily. Additionally, 6 tRNAs were found in the phage B2 genome. Protein analysis revealed 13 (phage B1) and 9 (phage B2) structural proteins. To our knowledge, this is the first report describing such high identity between phage genomes infecting different genera of lactic acid bacteria.

Enterobacter cloacae is an opportunistic pathogen that causes hospital-acquired infections in immunocompromised patients. Here, we describe vB_EclM_CIP9, a novel Enterobacter phage that infects a multidrug-resistant isolate of E. cloacae. Phage vB_EclM_CIP9 is a myovirus that has a 174,924-bp genome, with 296 predicted open reading frames.

ABSTRACTTo determine whether the overexpression of chromosomal genes can confer fosfomycin resistance, genomewide screening of a complete set of 5,272 plasmid-expressed open reading frames ofEscherichia coli(ASKA collection) was performed. Major results are that (i) no clinical level of resistance is achieved by overexpressing chromosomal genes, exceptmurA; (ii) this level is reached at a low fitness cost; and (iii) this cost is much lower than that imposed by other mutations conferring fosfomycin resistance.

ABSTRACTA new virulent phage belonging to theSiphoviridaefamily and able to infectLactococcus garvieaestrains was isolated from compost soil. Phage GE1 has a prolate capsid (56 by 38 nm) and a long noncontractile tail (123 nm). It had a burst size of 139 and a latent period of 31 min. Its host range was limited to only twoL. garvieaestrains out of 73 tested. Phage GE1 has a double-stranded DNA genome of 24,847 bp containing 48 predicted open reading frames (ORFs). Putative functions could be assigned to only 14 ORFs, and significant matches in public databases were found for only 17 ORFs, indicating that GE1 is a novel phage and its genome contains several new viral genes and encodes several new viral proteins. Of these 17 ORFs, 16 were homologous to deduced proteins of virulent phages infecting the dairy bacteriumLactococcus lactis, including previously characterized prolate-headed phages. Comparative genome analysis confirmed the relatedness ofL. garvieaephage GE1 toL. lactisphages c2 (22,172 bp) and Q54 (26,537 bp), although its genome organization was closer to that of phage c2. Phage GE1 did not infect any of the 58L. lactisstrains tested. This study suggests that phages infecting different lactococcal species may have a common ancestor.
